I have imported 6 cars into Australia, all from Los Angeles to Perth, Western Australia. It is a long involved process now with our government getting very excited about the possibility of any asbestos (or related products) being in the car.
It must all be stripped out and a certificate provided by a shop certifying same.
Then the government must approve importing the vehicle itself.
Then comes the cost.... its about $4000 for the shipping itself inclusive of quarantine service in Australia inspecting the vehicle when it arrives. If it isnt clean of all dirt , dust etc then you face a cleaning bill as well.
You will also pay import duty and goods and services tax on what you bring in, lets call it approximately $2000 plus the taxes.
Gets to be an expensive exercise......
Love your comment Phil, Australia is a big island, sure is !!!sigpicBill
